“While You Were Sleeping” by Charlie Stewart

Animator/designer Charlie Stewart in London chooses a soft palette, careful compositions, and measured pacing for his animated exploration of “the longevity and limitations of artificial intelligence, and the loneliness of deep space.”

Charlie Stewart: “I took time off from doing client work to complete this, having heard time and time again from other creatives that what you gain from projects like this more than makes up for what you spend.”
